South Korea’s government has been tightening the reins on its vibrant digital currency trading market recently, and that trend shows no sign of slowing. Officials now plan to require more transparency in digital currency transactions by forcing digital currency traders to ensure that they use their real names on crypto exchange accounts, according to reporting from Reuters.

The former Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recently said that regulators should move to monitor and regulate digital currencies, but argued that the government should not move to ban them. She made the remarks in an appearance on CNBC’s Fast Money, during a panel discussion about a potential crypto crackdown.
